To answer the question in the title of this article, the short answer is: Yes. Jimim Parsons has actually learned how to play he for "Big Bang theory".

In the episode "Using Bus Trousers" (January 6, 2011), the main characters are collected to invent an application that allows users to solve differential equations. Such an application, they are understood, is sufficiently specialized that no one else has yet announced, and they are beginning to have fantasies about potential wealth and fame. Sheldon (Jimim Parsons, Giving a turnaround for a career change), however, begins to fantasize that their roommate Penny (Kaili Cuoco) can be an angle to steal their idea, although she clearly does not want anything. Sheldon also becomes preoccupied with the command structure of their team and which can be the leader. He becomes Katie, cruel and avenging, making his teammates claiming their lead over them.

Sheldon is in the end, understandable, the team started. In retaliation, he pulls out his own while his friends have a meeting and play it as louder as possible. This will eventually expel Sheldon from the apartment. He will end up playing "no one knows the problem I've seen" in the hallway, trying to sing with his own player. Penny will have to teach Sheldon how to apologize before being released.

Yes, it was real there, and yes, Parsons actually played it. He admitted in an interview with Palainfest (reported by Hollywood reporter) That he was not very good at playing there - he said his inadequacy brought him to tears - but he actually played it.

Parsons is actually pretty musically prone, saying in an interview with NPR That he is able to play the piano, practicing from an early age. However, he was something he had to learn about the show. Given what we hear, it is used well enough. Although he is not Clara Rockmore.

Tamine was invented by Leon Term, an inventor who developed listening devices, electromagnetic TVs, a burglar alarm and the world's first drum machine. His instrument, The Thereemin, dropped out of the electromagnetic waves that can be interrupted and manipulated with the player's hands. The vertical metal beam allowed to change the tone, while the horizontal metal loop controlled the volume. The player would change the tones without even touching the instrument. It was the first electronic instrument to be massive.

Her electronic humming was eerie and ethereal, and the filmmakers of the 1940s and 1950s were attracted to the sound. Known, you can hear music in Michlis Riza for Spellbound and Bernard Herman's result of "the day the country stopped". It was used by Elmer Bernstein for "Ghostbusters" and retained for their extensions in the late stage. There they are whining in the background of "the good vibrations of the boys on the beach". Frank. The Big Bang theory mentions that it was also used for Star Trek, but that is false.

The story of Leon Term, his instrument and all his other inventions is detailed in a very good documentary in 1995 "Toemin: electronic odyssey." Leon Term was a fascinating man, and his experiments with electromagnetism were top. Not available on streaming, but can be seen on the Internet archive. It is more than a "scientific instrument". It is part of a huge culture of electronic music.
